KEARNEY v. J.P. KING AUCTION CO., INC., 00-1837; 00-1910
Assertions that at auction property would sell for between $3 and $10 million and that the auction would attract "heavy hitters" are not actionable under Maine common law as they are not statements of present fact but expressions about belief about and hope for the future.
